The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends ...

Physicists are close to performing the most accurate tests of Einstein’s ideas about gravity ever undertaken. Their first-of-its-kind experiment involves using two kinds of extremely cold atoms aboard ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

On January 22, 2025, physicists unveiled a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of the ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

"So far we have been watching the cosmos like a silent movie, capturing the ripples of spacetime with LISA will be a real game-changer, like when sound was added to motion pictures." When you purchase ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
